Good idea!

Another solution could be to create dedicated buffer keywords. With the
following:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-export-define-derived-backend 'letter 'e-latex
:options-alist ((:address "ADDRESS" nil nil newline)
(:destination "DESTINATION" nil nil newline)
(:object "OBJECT"))
:translate-alist ((template . org-letter-template)))
#+end_src
you can define an address with:
#+begin_src org
#+ADDRESS: Free Software Foundation
#+ADDRESS: 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor
#+ADDRESS: Boston, MA 02110-1301
#+ADDRESS: USA
#+end_src
and access it with (plist-get info :address) in `org-letter-template'.
